Just read the last Scott Pilgrim book. Good series.

I'm actually looking to find a copy of El Borbah, I read it a long time ago and want to read it again. Once I have more disposable income, I plan on buying all Burns' stuff I can find. I do already own Hard Boiled Defective Stories, which stars El Borbah and, like you said, is TOTALLY different from Black Hole. I hear some folks are trying to make a movie out of Black Hole, that could be interesting, though it seems like it would be very difficult to translate it to screen.

Has anyone mentioned American Vampire from Vertigo Comics yet?

Scott Snyder is writing it

The series is on issue # 6 and it's pretty wild so far
Vampires that can walk around in daylight in the old west!

I'm re-reading my old Thunderbolts copies because comics cost too damn much these days.:mad:

Read volumes 9 and 10 of Transmetropolitan... Go Spider, go! This is now quite possibly my favorite comic series out there. Incredibly smart and well-written and HIGHLY recommended.

My local bookstore just got in Volume 8. I'm pretty pissed about how long I'll need to wait before 9 and 10 come about.

I'm really confused about how the printing and re-printing is working with this series...

My library has all of the volumes, except Volume 8, which I just purchased on Amazon so that I wouldn't have to wait for them to get it in. Amazon also has 9, 10, and Tales of Human Waste, if you're interested.

My current goal is to purchase a volume a month to back-fill my collection... I feel so strongly about this series that I'm not even thinking twice about buying them all... Also started buying them for a friend of mine. REALLY good stuff.

Got me into Planetary, too, which is some of the best science fiction that I have ever read... And the boyfriend is going to get the whole Planetary set for his Birthday. :D

Bought myself a bunch of Elseworlds titles recently. Now reading Batman: Leatherwing.
